Mass Effect 3 Wiki Guide

Priority: The Citadel 1

You'll get 35000 Credits just for setting foot in the Citadel. There are many, many things to do on your first visit to the Citadel, and your map can guide you to most of the important people and places.

Head to the elevator and use it to go to the Huerta Memorial Hospital on the top floor. Here you can recruit one of two doctors for the Normandy, Dr. Chakwas or Dr. Michel. You can easily recruit Chakwas, she's ready to go, but you'll have to persuade Dr. Michel, so you'll need strong Paragon/Renegade standing to choose the dialogue option. You can only choose one doctor; If you recruit one doctor, you won't be able to back track and recruit the other.

If you can convince Doctor Chakwas to stay at the hospital with a Persuasion choice, she will become an additional War Asset.

By visiting the Sirta Supplies shop in Huerta Memorial Hospital, right by the check-in desk, you will later be able to access Sirta Supplies on the Normandy from the cargo deck shopping terminal. Access it once to make this connection.

Councilor Udina is in his office in the Citadel Embassies, on Floor 2. Head right from the elevator and go up the stairs. Udina's office is on the right side of the hallway. A cutscene will occur in his office (2 on the map).

Enter the Spectre Office area just across from Udina's office to find the Spectre Requisitions shop terminal. Activate it once on your first visit to the Citadel and you will be able to shop remotely via the Normandy later on. There is also a Spectre Terminal here you can use to get updates on galactic happenings.
